Recipe View Spoon the heated spaghetti sauce onto individual plates. Arrange the fried zucchini slices atop the sauce and serve immediately. (2 minutes)

For extra crispy zucchini, consider double-dredging. Dip the zucchini in egg, then breadcrumbs, then egg again, and finally back into the breadcrumbs before frying.
To prevent soggy zucchini, avoid overcrowding the skillet. Fry in batches if necessary.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving adds a bright, zesty flavor.
